Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions RSFirewall component versions 2.9.7 through 3.1.5 for Joomla

Description A path traversal issue allows authenticated users to read arbitrary files outside the Joomla root directory. The flaw is caused by insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in file path parameters, allowing attackers to exploit directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to access sensitive files.

Recommendations For RSFirewall component versions 2.9.7 through 3.1.5, consider updating to a version that addresses the insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in file path parameters to prevent directory traversal attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive files outside the Joomla root directory until a patch is available.
